Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall?

  Chapter 268 Joe Kagemasa's resignation application!

   Swish Swish Swish.

  At this moment, in the conference room of Ke Meila, there were whispers and whispers.

  Seven people, counting as Joetsu Kagemasa, there are eight people in total.

  These eight people today are the top-level shareholders of Komera, who hold the power of life and death.

  As Moriya Toruya said before.

  In Neon, so-called "managing directors" like him usually have no equity, at best they participate in dividends.

  The one who really holds the company's major decision-making power is the shareholders' meeting composed of shareholders, which is the real board of directors.

   And today!

  The reason why Ke Meila announced the holding of a top-level shareholder meeting on such an inappropriate day.

  The main reason is that the loss of "Torii" is too serious!

  About more than half a month ago, with the release of the official notice, the pre-sale of "Torii" started.

  This 3S masterpiece with a total investment of 245 million dollars is priced at 78 dollars per copy. The overall response in the pre-sale stage is good. As of the video game festival, a total of more than 800,000 copies have been pre-sold.

  The pre-sale sales of more than 800,000 copies are definitely great news for any game.

  Comera is no exception.

  A quarter of the cost has been recovered in the pre-sale stage.

   It can be said that the success of "Torii" is almost a certainty.

However!

  The so-called sky fails to fulfill people's wishes.

  Since the opening of the video game festival, Comera's nightmare began.

   First, they were overwhelmed by the Golden Wind in terms of number of people, and then the reviews of the actual game demonstration plummeted to the bottom!

  It will be carried out in just two days!

  The pre-sale of torii has almost stagnated.

   But this is not the end.

  Start from the third day!

  Because the online reviews of "Tori" are getting worse and worse, the pre-sale sales of the game have also gradually gone downhill, and there are even cases of refunds during the pre-sale stage!

  'The quality gap between this and the trailer is a bit too big...'

  ‘I feel inferior to a wolf, let’s wait and see again’

  ‘If I had to choose between the two, I would choose a wolf’

  ‘Isn’t this live demo really just for fun? How did they come up with such a monotonous game content? '

   'God, this is a game disaster'

  ‘I regret the pre-order, I’ve already returned it, I’d better wait a little longer and see if I can buy it after the official version comes out...’

  ‘…’

  So many comments.

  Under the influence of such reviews, the pre-sale sales of "Torii" plummeted from 800,000 copies to less than 600,000 copies in just four days after the opening of the video game show!

  A total of 200,000 pre-order players will be refunded!

  The overjoyed data almost instantly turned into an unprecedented disaster!

   And then!

   Moritani has already resigned as the coach, and Koizumi is in the hospital again, and has no authority to mobilize large-scale public relations.

  So, since the video game festival, the announcement of the Torii project has almost come to a standstill.

   And this time!

  Joe Yueke has already realized that he wants bad food!

No.

   Not meant to be bad!

   It's already a bad thing!

   After all, for most players, whether it is 65 knives/part for a wolf or 78 knives/part for a torii, it is by no means a small number.

   That is to say, in this confrontation, most players can only choose one of the 3S-level masterpieces to start with.

   And the situation at this time is so unfavorable for Torii!

  The situation took a turn for the worse, and he almost put the word 'finished' on Yue Jingzheng's face!

   Seeing that the situation is not good!

  Joetsuke made a decisive decision!

   Must make a plan to abandon the pawns to save the handsome!

   Once the game was released, up to now, the actual sales situation is just as he expected before, full of the bitter taste of failure—

  Pre-sale plus official sales, a total of 720,000 sets.

   Almost a month!

  720,000 sets.

  The sales volume was 56.16 million knives.

   Recovered only 22% of the total cost.

   Moreover, their sales speed is still decreasing every day, and it is estimated that in about a month, they will come to a standstill.

what to do?

   There are powerful enemies outside, but no coach inside!

  Under this heavy pressure, Joyue ​​Jing couldn't help but feel anger from his heart and evil to his gallbladder.

   Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he simply stopped doing nothing and stopped all announcements of "Tori" by default!

  Joe Yueke is worthy of being a ruthless businessman.

  Since the situation cannot be turned from defeat to victory, then simply make the situation bigger, and it is best to alert the shareholders meeting!

   Because of this!

  The "pawns" he discarded in order to "keep handsome" are more likely to be accepted by the shareholders' meeting!

   And the situation.

   It was just as he expected!

  The game has come to a standstill in less than two weeks since its launch, and the total cost recovery is even less than one-third, which caused an uproar in the shareholder meeting!

   And today's meeting, of course, is that the shareholders' meeting came to ask Mr. Shangyue Jingzhenxing for his crimes!

   "Then President Joetsu,"

  After a round of whispering discussions, a man with white hair and a slightly fatter figure asked at the shareholder meeting:

   "Since we are so fully prepared, why is this the result now? Huh?!"

  These people at the shareholder meeting don't care what your preparations are or what the project is.

  For them, making money is good, not making money is bad, and losing money is even worse!

  Joetsuke must have an explanation!

  “…Because the plan can’t keep up with the changes.”

   In this regard, Joetsu King is already prepared!

  “In fact, in the game’s announcement stage, we have always had a favorable situation,”

  Jie Yuejing Zhengdao:

   "However! Due to the inappropriate selection of Kazuo Koizumi's actual machine demonstration, he failed to fully demonstrate the game's features, but instead chose a relatively bland bridge section for demonstration,"

   "This is extremely detrimental to our influence,"

   "It directly led to the unfavorable evaluation of our development,"

   "This will lead to a disadvantage in the subsequent word-of-mouth game."

Speaking of which.

  Seeing Yue Yuejing was groaning, he also lowered his head, making an apologetic look:

   “…I am also responsible,”

   "I didn't control and finalize the project in detail,"

   "Private Marseille!!"

   Avoid the serious and take the light! Turn right and wrong!

   Standing up and bowing ninety degrees, Joetsu Kei buried his face deeply.

  No one could see the coldness in the corner of his mouth.

  Actually, if there is one person in the shareholder meeting who has played a little bit of their own game at this time, he can instantly expose Yue Jingzheng's excuse.

   "Torii" is just a section with high repetition? Is it boring to only have the demonstration of the real machine?

   In this regard, the shareholders of the real board of directors look at me and I look at you, and exchange eyes with each other.

  Obviously, there is neither disbelief nor full belief in what Joe Etsu Keisha said.

   And this was obviously expected by Joe Keisha.

  So he paused for a moment, and then he continued:

   "Of course, in addition to this, no one is available inside... It is also a big problem for us to announce later."

   said.

  Jie Yueke was frowning slightly, making a worried expression:

   "Originally, Toruya Moriya, the executive director of the game business department, was in charge of the publicity and distribution coach about "Torii" and other projects,"

"but,"

  “Due to Kazuo Koizumi’s impulsive actions almost causing a serious diplomatic accident, coupled with the unfavorable overall situation,”

   "Executive Moritani... chose to step down as coach..."

   Misfortune is diverted to the east! Aggravate the default!

  Even though Joe Kagemasa is still neutral.

  But as long as it is a person with a normal mind, it is not difficult to hear that this sentence seems to be an "objective statement of facts", but it actually implies that Moriya Toru also fled the battle!

   Instantly!

   There was silence in the meeting room.

  All the shareholders frowned!

   They knew something about the situation Joey Kagemasa said, but before that, they only had a half-knowledge.

  But now hearing what Yue Jingzheng said, everyone couldn't help feeling depressed.

  Toruya Moritani, that's the managing director!

   That is the top of the top management of Comera!

   Almost a position below one person and above ten thousand people!

  Standing in such a position, but making such a move?

   This is not wrong anymore.

   This is a dereliction of duty.

   Serious dereliction of duty!

  Seeing dissatisfaction among shareholders!

  Joe Yue could not help but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

  The time has come.

   Cough a little!

   "Say—actually—"

  Joe Yue opened his mouth:

   "Actually, there is another situation, which I only recently investigated,"

   "It can be said that... the key to this serious loss..."

   Heard the words!

   Shua—!

  In an instant, all eyes were on Joetsu Kemasa!

  Ji Yuejing paused slightly, as if he was making a difficult decision to go against his ancestors.

   Then, he stretched out his hand and signaled everyone to look at the large screen at the end of the conference room—

   click.

  A photo appeared on top of the projection.

   In the photo, an older man and a younger man are sitting in a small restaurant, seeming to be talking about something, all smiling.

   And flip with the photo.

   I saw the two chatting more and more happily.

   Until the last photo.

  The two shook hands cordially, looked at each other and laughed.

   Instantly!

  A needle can be heard in the entire meeting room!

  Yue Jingzheng's voice was very clear in the dead silence!

   "The older person, I won't introduce much, is our managing director, Mr. Moritani,"

   Just listen to Yue Jing Zhengdao:

   "And the one who shook his hand,"

   "It is the executive vice president of Golden Wind, and also the chief game director of Golden Wind,"

   "Gu Sheng, SamGu."

  Om—! !

  Even though Joetsu Kagemasa hasn't said anything yet, but this kind of photo was ordered to be released, and its purpose is obvious!

  "Joetsu President"

  Seeing the gray-haired shareholder frowned coldly, looking up and looking upright, his eyes trembling slightly:

   "Some things are not just said casually."

   What a joke!

  Toruya Moritani is the managing director!

   It is not an exaggeration to say that he is Comera's second in command!

  Now, the photo shown by Joe Keisha clearly implies that Toru Moriya is also closely related to the vice president of Golden Kaze, and has even betrayed Komera, secretly surrendered to Golden Kaze, and secretly conveyed business secrets!

   You can't say this casually!

  Especially a comprehensive super manufacturer like Comera!

  The second-in-command mutiny, how much impact was that? !

  Seeing the astonished expressions of many shareholders, Joetsu Keisha also knows how much impact such news will have on the entire company and even the company's stock price!

   But so far.

  In order not to let himself go out early, he can only pull out another...

Oh no.

   They are a pair of heavyweight executives, who blamed themselves and died for themselves!

  Kazuo Koizumi, idiot and trash, useless!

  Toruya Moritani, hide your heart, get rid of it quickly!

  Two for one!

  Anyway, I am not alone in the fall of the company's stock price!

   There are two of you who will pay me back, and the entire shareholder meeting will help me share it equally.

   This deal is worth it!

   Take it easy!

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

   On the projection screen, the evidence investigated by many private investigators flashed!

  Yue Jingzheng's voice became more firm and vicious:

   "External aspects—"

   "Three months ago, Gu Sheng, the vice president of Golden Wind, called Moriya Toruya and told him in detail about the "Sekiro" project, but Moriya never reported it,"

"Afterwards, Golden Wind's development of the "Sekiro" project encountered motion capture problems, and contacted Toruya Moritani. It was confirmed that Moriya Toru also helped Golden Wind contact the MOSIA motion capture team, and secretly contributed to Golden Wind and Tanigaki. The collaboration of the Kenji action team,"

   "And at the exhibition, when the booth of Golden Wind was provoked, Moriya Toru also took the initiative to help Golden Wind calm the incident with his special status in the Kansai District,"

   "Internal aspects—"

   "Facing the announcement of the wind of gold, we have repeatedly chosen to avoid the policy,"

   "Secretly acquiesced in the release of "Torii" and "Sekiro" projects at the same time,"

   "Maliciously injured the project manager during the exhibition, and resigned before the battle,"

   "If this is not enough to conclude that Director Moritani is collaborating with the enemy, everyone, please listen to this—"

  Like a bamboo tube pouring beans, Joey waved it with a wind hammer in a dizzying manner!

   And this last hammer is even more shocking——

  【Does Gu Sang need my help? 】

[Actually, this matter, uh, logically speaking, I shouldn’t talk to Mori-san, but I think that Mori-san is one of the few true friends I can get close to in Nihong, so I shouldn’t hide anything... 】

  【... We are preparing a somatosensory cabin action game recently... we also need motion capture actors to provide motion model data...】

  【Hey—Okay, let’s meet and talk in detail...】

phone recording!

  The two voices inside are clearly Gu Sheng and Moriya Toruya!

certainly!

   This telephone recording was obtained by Joetsu Kesho through not-so-proprietary means.

  But for a person of his level, it is not a particularly serious problem.

after all.

  The weight of this phone recording is far more important than the stolen recording!

this-!

this-!

  For a moment, all the shareholders in the meeting room looked shocked!

   Shocked, Annoyed, Angry, Unbelievable!

   Layer after layer of expressions are like colorful masks, stacked on the faces of the seven major shareholders!

   And see it!

  Jie Yueke took a deep breath too!

Everything is ready.

   Now, it's only a matter of my last trembling!

   Bang Dang!

  Suddenly, the chair under Yue Jingzheng rang!

   In front of the seven major shareholders, Joetsu King stood up again, and bowed deeply to the shareholders at a standard ninety degrees:

   "Private Marseille shareholders!"

   "Nowadays, such a situation is happening, firstly, because I am personally unfavorable to the supervision of the project, and secondly, because I have too much trust in the high-level executives around me,"

  “I must bear the main responsibility for such a serious loss,”

"so,"

   "I formally submit a resignation application to the shareholders' meeting, and implore the shareholders' meeting to approve my request,"

   "Let more capable people,"

   "Take over as president!!"

   Retreat to advance!

   Lore!
